Unless you haven’t listened to the radio, watched TV, or just woke from a thousand year sleep at the kiss from a certain royal prince; you’ve probably heard that the world’s designated kook, Kim Jung-il, tested his first home-made atomic weapon last night (EDST – or this morning, Korean time). What surprised me most about the news is how little people were talking about it.
After watching another nerve wrenching college football game, I was in no condition to watch a hockey game. The Lightning were making their first home appearance of the season, so I couldn’t just ignore it. So I tuned in, against my better judgment. Then they went down two-zip in the first period, and I just had to turn the television off. It’s after midnight and I still don’t…
If you read the sports section of the St Pete Times, you may have read a column by John Romano about the new owners of the Rays. The title of this article is: “New boss looking too much like old boss.”
As you may have guessed, I have a problem with this article (why else would I be writing about it?). In order to address my issues I must first point out the problems with the…
Have pity on me dear reader, for I must forsake my beloved paper in the name of good mental health. By “paper,” I am of course referring to the news… or the printed version thereof. I can not look at it for fear of what I know I will see: a large cover story about a certain local sports franchise with a pirate motif, who laid a second consecutive egg in the face of their…
How long has the local news been showing off Google Earth in it’s evening segments? In it’s post-game, 11 o’clock show, channel ten was telling a story about something that happened in the Ocala National Forest. (I wasn’t paying close enough attention to learn what happened. I only left the TV on by accident.) Despite being less than one hundred miles away, there are…
I can finally exhale. Gators by one in a nail biter. The Gators played just well enough not to lose.
I suppose UT had something to do with it too.
I can’t remember the last time a national broadcast team made so many mistakes. Not since the Lightning won the Stanley Cup anyway. Getting player’s names wrong and mixing up one player with another (even if their number is CLEARLY visible)…
I resisted half a dozen urges to post a political entry today, despite several that left me seething. My straw came in the form of a mailing from “Florida’s Working Families.” It was an attack on the congressional voting record of the Democratic nominee for Governor in Florida, Jim Davis.
As anyone can tell you, misleading attack adds are a dime a dozen during election season.
It’s never too late to go to the well, and Investment Bob went last night in his debate with the tuna (sorry Charlie). Investment Bob says there are three liberals in the Florida race for Governor, and he’s the only conservative. In fact, he took the gloves off and called the tuna a liberal. A LIBERAL!?! You take that back! Chain Gang Charlie struck back with a “nanny-nanny…
